Aj here is a video of my AA nozzle firing, just one nozzle. the size of this test chamber is 14 wide by 28 by 36 deep. now this mist looks nice but didnt work worth a shit for the roots. the droplet size was to small and even though the mist hung in the chamber it performed poorly at this...

Aj what i have found with AA is that if the mist is hanging thick in the chamber from one cycle to the next the droplet size was to small. even with all the hydraulic HPA nozzzle systems ive built i cant ever remember having visible mist from one cycle to the next. although ive had hydraulic...

the only thing i can think of is that the droplet size might not be in the correct range. this could explain the thinning of the roots as if you have ever seen fogponics roots they are thin. are the solution and air pressures the same from the cloner to the main rig(you said you use the same...

i meant 2.5-3 lb. im not running a aero system right now because i spent all summer working on getting off the grid and it turned out to be very expensive but best move i ever made.

aj have you ever figured out your brown root problem you encountered from going from the cloner to the main rig? also have you ever been able to get thru a full round in the main rig with some healthy roots and plants. i havent been around the threads much lately because im just so busy running...

looks like you have alot of time into this setup. your right not many trying AA. im wondering why you chose the nozzle placements lower in the chamber as my experience is you will end up with root issues blocking mist patterns? and what purpose are you hoping the grid pattern will serve that is...

TB theres always hope. these sick roots came from a bubbler and in 2 weeks in a AA test rig looked like this. not perfect but i was changing the settings every day trying to figure out what would work the best. Ended up putting her back into dirt to finish her as i didnt have time to mess with...

if the bladder is replacable then the tank will have a bolt on flange for removing the bladder. here is a pic of a tank with the flange removed and the inner bladder revealed. very simple and easy to replace if the tank is made for a replacable membrane. bladders cost 35 bucks for this 110...

yea ive been wondering what happened to him also. hope he didnt get pinched

the bio nozzles are not 360 degree nozzles. i believe they are 120 degree so they spray more out to one side. if you have it facing something that this spray hits it will form drops and drip off whatever its hitting.(the side of the container lid etc.) any nozzle will make your hand feel wet if...

yea you have it pictured right. i used these types of selonoids for lp they work great and you can get them in any size almost and they have a built in flow regulator http://www.dripirrigation.com/drip_irrigation_categories/73 with the pump system i linked the pump doesnt come on everytime...

this thing would do the job easily. if you can handle the noise. ive used them before for 30 lp nozzles and just mounted it in a closet and it seldom ran and could be muffeled easily...

i have used both bio nozzles and they have both performed about the same as far as root development. As atomozer said the lower flow ones give better control but niether the low flow or ultra low flow with perform well below 80psi. they really need to be fired in the 80-100psi range. in this...

if you look at the pump fatman says to use for 30-50 micron droplets it has a pressure rating of 24psi. i can assure you you wont get many if any 30-50 micron droplets at those pressures unless your using an AA nozzle. as far as his idea of using a selonoid to divert the flow so as to create a...

IMO using mist (fine mist) as the sole feed for a plant doesnt work well in small containers. roots that are truely fed fine mist need more volume than a typical root system if they are to utilize the mist properly. sorry to hear you couldnt finish a run and had to toss the system. you...

with the 422 timer as atomizer pointed out you can use 2 different voltages . a timer like this is basically just a switch but instead of flipping a mechanical switch you flip the switch by appling voltage. this voltage can be anything from 24vac-240VAC and up to 24VDC. you wire the the part of...

its not a repeat cycle timer its a TDR

id go with the 422 flip flop timer. half the money and goes down below 1 sec and ive been using them forever and never had one quit. you do have to mount them and wire it but its straight forward if you know even a little about wiring. get the mounting kit and the socket to plug it into which...
